Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 184 Chapter 180 Three: The Cheng Family
The young master of the Cheng family was seriously ill and was bedridden. It has been more than a month now, and he has invited famous doctors inside and outside the Jingzhou Mansion, even old doctors in the palace.

In the end, the ancestors of the Cheng family invited Chengyang Taoist priests from the Sanxing Temple to come back, performed magic tricks, made divinations, and used Chongxi as medicine, which might cure the young master's life.

As a result, the Cheng family moved up and down, and the stewards and wives ran all over Panshi Town.

Everyone inside and outside the circle knew that the young master of the Cheng family needed a happy birthday girl whose birthday was in August.

I heard that the Cheng family would bring in a suitable girl in a palanquin, and a serious matchmaker is marrying, and the bride price is a thousand taels!
These ten miles and eight villages know about it, and there are quite a few people who are excited. They wish their daughter could be chosen.

Just a thousand taels of betrothal gift is enough to make people jealous.

Therefore, there is no need for the Cheng family's housekeeper to run around too much. There are even some people who go to Cheng's village by themselves these days and say that their daughter and granddaughter are born in August. Baba hopes that the Cheng family can choose them.

For a while, Chengjiazhuang was very lively, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going every day.

But in just five days, the name of the girl born in August was recorded in the notebook.

But in the inner courtyard of Cheng's house, the atmosphere was still solemn.

Ninety-eight this year, the ancestor has white hair and a full face. He can't see the appearance of his youth. The only pair of eyes are not cloudy, but are still bright.

When looking at a person, first look at the eyes. Just by looking at these eyes, one can tell that the old birthday star is a long-lived person and still has time to live.

"Are you sure that all the girls born in August in the entire Panshi Town's jurisdiction are here?" the ancestor said quietly, and the people standing and sitting below all raised their hearts.

The 80 years old Mrs. Cheng did not seem to be much younger than her ancestors, and her head was full of gray hair. At this time, she was holding a handkerchief, her eyes were red and swollen, "My poor little great-grandson!"

"Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying, take care of your own body! It's time to drink the medicine, Xiuqi's family, help your mother-in-law go back to drink the medicine." The old ancestor glanced at her. It is the older one.

But everyone in the Cheng family knew that Mrs. Cheng's health was not as good as that of her ancestors, and she had gotten worse in the past two years, and she was destined not to live to the age of her ancestors.

All this anxiety and worry, especially since Mrs. Cheng had already taken the medicine, no wonder the ancestor wanted to persuade the daughter-in-law to take care of herself.

Landlord Cheng's wife heard her grandmother's order, and hurriedly agreed, and got up and helped old lady Cheng back to her yard.

The old ancestor is in good health and has been a family for decades. Whether it is Mrs. Cheng or Mrs. Cheng, they are not in charge of the family.

It wasn't until Landlord Cheng's son married his daughter-in-law, who was personally selected by the ancestors to enter the house, and taught by hand after entering the house. After a few years, the management power of Cheng's inner courtyard was bypassed and handed over to the previous one. Grandma Cheng's hand.

Grandma Cheng was indeed handed over by her ancestors. Her son was seriously ill, and she was more worried than anyone else, but she was able to hold on this time and still take good care of the family. This is what everyone looks like.

To be the mistress of the house, you have to be stable at critical times.

She flipped through the notebook in her hand, and then said: "The Taoist priest said that it must be within the jurisdiction of Panshi Town, but all the girls born in August within the jurisdiction of Panshi Town are here, and there is no one with a birthday. The horoscope is exactly in line with the horoscope from Dao Chang Gua.

I just visited Cheng'er's place. Although there is a Taoist priest's talisman, but... time is running out, ancestor, in your opinion, what should we do with this matter? "

The old ancestor pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "My Cheng family is very kind. Although I never bully the people, I will help whenever there is a disaster. The memorial archway of the Jishan House built outside was bestowed by every magistrate himself. Now it's gone. There are nearly ten seats.

In these ten miles and eight villages, who doesn't know my Cheng family's good reputation?Who hasn't received relief from my Cheng family? "

"But God insists on playing tricks like this."

"My family loves their children, but there may not be other families in this world who also love their children. A thousand taels of dowry and eight sedan chairs are rich, but they are not worth the love of a parent."

The old ancestor sighed softly, but Grandma Cheng was startled when she heard it.

With a promise of a thousand gold dowry and eight palanquins to be married, she didn't think anyone would intentionally hide the birthday of her own child.

Who wouldn't want to get such a big benefit?
Besides, whether it's her or the ancestors, they are all sincere Xu Bati's big sedan chair is married, and a serious person will recognize this Cheng family's young mistress, no matter what the result of the happy event is.

Their Cheng family can't do the thing of killing donkeys.

Seeing the expression on the great-granddaughter-in-law's face, the old ancestor understood what she was thinking, and immediately sighed with a smile, "Yuan Yuan, don't underestimate the heart of being a parent. Parents who are willing to push their children into the fire pit for money."

Grandma Cheng pursed her lips, "Why did you fall into the pit of fire? My Cheng family is marrying a medium-sized palanquin, even if it doesn't work out in the end, Cheng'er is still... But since this daughter-in-law has entered the Cheng family, she is my daughter-in-law. I will treat her well."

"But who wants to let their daughter be a widow since she was a teenager, and she will stay there for decades, even if she is rich and prosperous?" The old ancestor asked back.

Grandma Cheng immediately thought of her daughter Wanwan. Apart from her son, she was the only daughter, and this pair of sons and daughters had always been her heart and soul.

She can't bear her children to suffer.

Yes, she has such a mind, how can she doubt that others can't have such a mind.

In this world, the love of parents for their children is the same.

Those parents really don't love their children, and she thinks he's great.

Can……

Grandma Cheng couldn't help sighing, her eyes suddenly turned red quietly.

God doesn't open your eyes, why can't you find it.

Grandma Cheng clenched her hands tightly, feeling extremely sad, but as the head of the house, she couldn't mess things up by herself at any time.

Behind her, there is the huge Cheng family, all watching.

Don't think she doesn't know, how many people in those side branches are just about to move.

If it weren't for the ancestor's sea-fixing needle, these people would have come to the door to add trouble.

"Old ancestor, I plan to ask the people below to go to the ten miles and eight villages to screen again. If they still can't find it in the end, it will be Cheng'er's fate, and I admit it." Grandma Cheng said, calming down her mood.

The old ancestor listened, and said in his mouth: "Since the Taoist priest has predicted this hexagram, it proves that there must be a girl with this horoscope in the jurisdiction of Panshi Town, and it cannot be faked."

"Now the result, it seems that the family deliberately concealed it."

"The matter is urgent, we can only find out the person first, and then make amends to him."

"Let's make it clear. I, the golden grandson of the Cheng family, need a girl who was born on the ninth day of August to be happy. Those who meet the requirements, Xu Jinjin, a thousand taels of betrothal gift. Regardless of status, if it can be done, it is the young mistress married by the Cheng family. If it can't be done, Cheng The family recognizes her as her own daughter, and in the name of her daughter, find a good family to marry her, and she will never treat her badly!"
